Marshall,
Are you able to measure the humidity within the unit? With temps that high on the hot side you have probably lowered the humidity to the point that your boas lung tissue is too dry and has become irritated. Lower your temps somewhat and raise the humidity into at least the 65% to 75% range. If you are not seeing any mucous, the increase in humidity will most likely improve the breathing condition before it moves into an RI if it has not been too long.
